Towards a Globalisation of Law? Comments from the European Perspective in View of the Experiences with the Europeanisation of Law

Abstract

. This article aims to contribute to the debate on globalization of law and the challenges of globalization. Today the COVID-19 pandemic has also had an impact on international trade. An understanding of globalization can be started with comments from a European perspective in view of the experience with a similar phenomenon, namely Europeanization of law. Europeanization of law is an example of geo-regionalization of law. Geo-regionalization and legal globalization are different forms of the same phenomenon, the internationalization of law. First, there will be no globalization of law without commitment to the rule of law. Second, there will be no globalization of law without multilateralism. Third, there will be no globalization of law without demanding requirements for the effective domestic implementation and enforcement of the global rules and standards. Fourth, there will be no globalization of law without sophisticated conceptional precautions to ensure compliance with the global rules and standards. Fifth, there will be no globalization of law without global courts of justice
